A community dedicated to cleaning up our world, one piece of trash at a time. Out for a walk, hike, errand, trip, or anything else? Pick up a couple pieces of trash and help be part of making a difference!

Post those pictures of trail cleanups, campsite overhauls, getting tires out of the old watering hole, or that grassy area by the sidewalk you pass on your evening walks that too many people leave their trash in.

Individually we can only clean up our little slice of life, but together we can help promote a cleaner, detrashed world!

More than 480,000 items of litter removed from UK beaches in nationwide survey

More than 480,000 items of litter were removed from UK beaches in 2023 as part of a nationwide survey.

In the Marine Conservation Society’s (MCS) annual beach clean, 14,721 volunteers picked up rubbish from their local beaches and recorded the number of items found within a 100m stretch.

Publishing its annual State of our Beaches report on Wednesday, the charity said half of all litter collected came from public sources – either dumped, blown or washed on to beaches.

It works well right now because our puppy still wants to sniff everything possible so I have more time to snag stuff. Trying to keep the park by our house a bit more trash free!
